A Brief History of Soju:

Soju traces its origins back to the 13th century during the Mongol invasions of Korea. The Mongols introduced Middle Eastern distillation techniques, which led to the creation of Soju—a clear spirit originally distilled from rice. During periods of hardship, when rice became scarce, Koreans adapted the recipe using sweet potatoes, barley, and wheat. Today, Soju is known for its clean flavour, moderate alcohol content, and strong cultural significance—often enjoyed during meals, celebrations, and social gatherings across generations.

Jinro Soju Flavours – 360ml | R690

Jinro is the world’s best-selling Soju brand, offering both traditional and fruit-infused expressions to suit every palate.

Original
The classic. Crisp, clean, and mildly sweet with a soft finish. Enjoy it chilled or with your favourite Korean dishes.

Plum
Rich and aromatic, this Soju offers a deep fruitiness with floral notes and a smooth, lingering sweetness.

Grape
Bright, juicy, and playful. This white grape-flavoured Soju is lightly tangy with a refreshing finish—perfect for first-time Soju drinkers.

Strawberry
Sweet, soft, and full of ripe strawberry flavour. A fun and easy-drinking option that's as delicious as it is approachable.

Grapefruit
Zesty and invigorating. The citrusy sharpness of grapefruit balances beautifully with Soju’s natural sweetness, making it crisp and refreshing.

The Negroni, Italy’s Signature Cocktail

The Negroni, Italy’s Signature Cocktail

Share Facebook twitter
Ends 28 February 2026
Cape Town Central, Western Cape , -

The Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail known for its bold flavours and vibrant red hue. It is traditionally crafted with equal parts gin, vermouth rosso, and Campari, garnished with an orange peel.

The Negroni's origin dates back to 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni, a Florentine nobleman, requested a stronger version of his favourite cocktail, the Americano, at Caffè Casoni in Florence. Bartender Fosco Scarselli obliged, substituting gin for the usual soda water, thus creating the iconic drink that has captivated cocktail enthusiasts worldwide.

The Negroni's perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and botanical notes has secured its place as a staple in bars and restaurants, celebrated for its simplicity and elegance.

At Scala, we offer 3 variations of this Italian staple:

  • The Classic, made using the original recipe
  • The White, made using all clear liquids infused with the right amount of bitter
  • The Sbagliato, “with Prosecco in it”, made famous a few years ago and a global phenomenon ever since

 

All three of our Negronis are available at half the price during Aperitivo Hour, from 16h00 to 17h30 daily (except First Thursday).
